"You can not"
"Why?"
"You could tell me nothing new.
You are only a cruclble for convert

ore that all the world goes mad after.
No doubt you are all very we'll in

Solomon.

even good, kind Aunt Hester told you
there were no young ladies with her, on
ly the seamstress. You are slightly bor-
edalready,a and think me odd enough to
amuse you for while; but if some of
these gay ladies-among whom hear
you are such a tavorite- were to come
you would not even know me. Good
evening, sir"
"What q furious little radical"
thought Sol, with an uneasy laugh,
as he watched her retreating figure.
Alter all, he was not quite sure that
she had not spoken the truth.
Ii the calico frock had been q
flounced silk, for instance, how MANY
degrees more deferential would have
been his manner in presenting the
cherries!
Query the second:
If the calico frock had been walking
down Broadway about O'Clock in
the afternoon would he, Solomon
Griggs, OF Griggs, Makem & Co., as
willingly escort it as across those
green fields, where if the robins and
bluebirds did make remarks it was in
their own language?
Sol. couldn't answer the question
satisfactorily, but he went to bed and
dl canned all night of the little Do
genes in her calico frock.
That week and the next he waited
patiently for the first glimpse of that
remarkable garment coming around
the corner, but in vain. And when,
IN such 81 very careless manner that it
was quite remarkable, he wondered
audibly "where that odd little girl
lived whom he saw on the eve OF his
arrival" Aunt Hester answered dry
ly: always up-thereabouts," point
ing with her hand. She boarded, she
believed, with some queer sort of folk
there, though, for that matter, she
was queer enough herself. And this
was absolutely all she would say on
the subject.
The next day Sol. took it upon HIM
self to wander up that way, "there-
abouts," and was rewarded with a.
glimpse of the calico frock going
through broken gate, and, following
it closely, came up with the wearer
as she was about to enter the dilap-
idated front door, at which piece OF
lmpertinence she was SO much in
censed as to turn very red, while tears
actually started to her eyes.
"What do you want?" she asked,
sharply enough.
.To see you'll" replied Sol, who,
taken by surprise, could think of
nothing but the truth.
"Well, you have seen me-now go!'
''But it's a warm day, and | am
very tired!"
II can't help that. It's not my
faults it?'
You might ask me to walk in and
sit down if you were not as hard. heart

"This is not my house,
'1You would then, if it Were?''
Il don't say that"
"Well, then, I am thirsty; give me a
glass of water"
'There is the we'll, and an iron cup
fastened to it by a chain; help your
self"
"You inhospitable little nissan
thrope!'
But she was gone, and the next time
ne inquired for her Aunt Hester told
him, with a malicious twinkle of the
eye, that she was gone to the city.
Perhaps the good soul had been
troubled with visions OF future Mrs.
Griggs, and was tot altogether dis
pleased that an insurmountable bar.
